​How to use product type in inventory application?​

To use product type in Metro ERP's Inventory App, follow these steps:

1) Go to the "Inventory" module by clicking on its icon in the main dashboard or using the application menu.

2) In the Inventory dashboard, Navigate to the "products >> products" menu.


3) Click on the create button to create a new product.


4)  Now, choose the product type that best suits your requirements..

5) In MetroERP, there are three product types: Consumable, Service, or Storable Product.


  • Consumable:- Consumable products are goods that are used up or consumed during a specific period, such as office supplies, food items, or cleaning products. These types of products are not typically tracked by their serial number or lot number.
  • Storable products:- Storable products are tangible goods that can be bought, sold, and stored. These products are typically tracked by their serial number or lot number, making it easier to monitor their inventory levels. Examples of these types of products include electronics, furniture, or clothing.
  • Service:- Service products, on the other hand, are non-material offerings that provide customers with an intangible benefit, such as consulting, training, or maintenance services. These types of products are not tangible, meaning that there are no physical goods being sold.

By categorizing products in this way, it becomes easier to manage inventory levels, track sales, and analyze business performance.
